What owners single out
In their words
“I bought this watch in December of 2023, it started glitching in the beginning of Novemeber 2024. I read they had a 1 year limited warranty, so I reached out. Wow, the customer service was fast, efficient and very respectable. I've worn this watch everyday since getting it last year, I won't change that. Very affordable and easily connects automatically without trouble.”

“This watch has a clear display and different faces to choose from via app. It loses out on remaining connected or reconnecting to my phone once i get out of my car. I'd have to go back into the Tozo app rather than just from my phone's bluetooth settings. Now less than a year, I can't scroll on the watch. the face of the watch is totally unresponsive. Only the side button works. Of course I can't ”
